We hold a single season for Rivera, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 20th of 27 of the 27 defensive midfielders in the Liga MX. At 30 Rivera is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Rivera missed 3 games through injury (yellow cards) out of roughly 40 this season. The 20 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Output in context · CF Pachuca finished 4th of 18 · an upper-table side
3.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 51.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 27.5, Rivera carries the 20th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga MX of 27. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
